Project description:We have independently knocked down TRA2B and SRSF3 in HEK293 cells to identify the sum of alternative splicing changes that results from depletion of each factor. Each was compared to a control transfection of the hairpin vector alone. In this set, 9 total samples were analyzed. There were three biological replicates for each of three conditions: knockdown control, TRA2B knockdown and SRSF3 knockdown. Arrays were analyzed for gene expression using GeneBase and for alternative splicing using MADS+ and OmniViewer software.
Project description:SRSF3 is overexpressed in human invasive ovarian cancer and its overexpression is required for cancer cell growth and survival. To decipher the mechnisms behind the role of SRSF3 in ovarian cancer, we examined the gene expression and splicing in the ovarian cancer cell line that was engineered to express a doxycycline-induced SRSF3 siRNA, which was able to knockdown SRSF3 expression by 90% and induce apoptosis. Total RNAs extracted from A2780/SRSF3si2, a subline of ovarian cancer cell line A2780, treated with or without doxycycline at 0.1ug/ml for three days were analyzed using Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Exon 1.0 ST Array
